Blaine was tired. He had so much work to do. They tried preparing you in college but the don't do a good job. He would sit late at night, at his desk reviewing lesson plans and grading papers. He was staying after later and later. The only advantage was that his classroom wasn't to far from the auditorium so on some occasions he could listen th the New Directions rehearse during after school practices and they weren't too bad either.

One day after school Blaine was grading a paper when he heard it. The most beautiful voice that he's ever heard. And that beautiful voice was singing an equally beautiful song. 'Blackbird'. Why, Blaine had to check it out. He got up from his desk and walked over to the auditorium. He paused right before entering and peeked in through the double doors. It was none other than his favorite student Kurt Hummel.

I got to get that boy to stay over a little longer after school to "help me". Now that I know he's here this will be a snap to keep him here, and maybe I can get him to sing a couple songs for me because damn is that a beautiful voice. Blaine thought to himself as he listened to the younger man sing.

The next day Blaine came walking into his fifth period class and took a seat on the edge of his desk, "Afternoon!" Blaine exclaimed. His response were moans and grumbles except for Rachel who always answered excitedly back. And Kurt, he said nothing, just stared at Blaine, "Okay, so I need help for after school. I've been in a rut and I'm exhausted. I would like someone this group to stay after and help me. I'm not asking for a lot of help, just help. Here's the catch though. You need to already have reason to stay after, besides detention. So, who would it be?" Blaine looked around the classroom. Rachel was the only one who shot up her hand.

"Raise your hand too. You have a reason to stay after and this would be a good chance for you and Mr. Anderson to spend time together." Rachel whispered to Kurt.

"I can't, he's already seeing someone." Kurt whispered back.

"You can show him how much better you are than that Sebastian person." Rachel said. Kurt brightened slightly then rose his hand.

"Only two people? That's it? No one else?" Blaine asked, "Okay, um... Kurt, how 'bout you?" Rachel smiled and put her hand down. Kurt's heart stopped as his hand went down also.

"Sure thing!" Kurt blushed.

"Cool, can you start today?"

"M-hm!" Kurt nodded.

"Alright, on to today's lesson..."
